Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible bedside manner! Very rude.
I took my daughter to him for a rash, she’s only 3 weeks old. He asked if I had any communicable diseases during pregnancy and if I WAS VACCINATED!?!? He told me she had a heat rash which was incorrect!! He also told me to stop breastfeeding when he came into the room because she would, “ only vomit during the exam”. He told me that her wearing headbands will make the heat rash worse…he barely looked at her and SURELY did not listen to my concerns.

Best of the Best! Dr. Mireles was the first Doctor to diagnose my granddaughter with Autism. After a year of going to ENT Dr's. and getting a run around, because they did not know what was the issue. She was not verbal till almost 4 years old! She has found her voice! Excelling in school and sings and is highly intelligent. Dr. Mireles diagnosis, opened the doors to testing, therapies and so much more for her. If it wasn't for you, she would have been silent Thank You! from the bottom of our hearts!

HORRIBLE DOCTOR!! Dr. Mireles comes across as thorough and skilled, this is far from real. He is very arrogant and will not listen to any thought that is not his, even from other specialist about the patient. This man has the worst bedside manner of any doctor we have ever seen. Please do mothers a favor and retire before you neglect care of any more of our children!! FYI good luck with referrals, even if a specialist requests he write them, he refuses to work with other professionals as well!!!!

I saw Dr. Mireles as a child and I recently helped a close friend evaluate potential pediatricians for their new born as one of the parents was overseas for work. I then attended his first appointment. Although Dr. Mireles was a great pediatrician for me growing up, I still felt an obligation to fairly judge him on our most recent visit as I wanted the best for my friend’s son. Dr. Mireles exercises care in his examinations and you can tell his 40+ years of practicing medicine give him a level of experience that few physicians can match. He gave us excellent advice on breastfeeding that helped us finally get the baby down and sleeping through the night. Kids also love Dr. Mireles with his playful demeanor and fun ties! I’d highly recommend him as a pediatrician in Central Florida.

He has no ethics to inform, he does not take the time to identify the problem and worse still he does not give a solution, I only went to an appointment and his behavior was totally unpleasant. from the beginning with bad attitude. I do not recommend this doctor.

Dr. Al has been my son's doctor since I was pregnant! He and his staff have always been courteous, friendly, and attentive every visit. Wait times can be long, especially during back-to-school or a walk-in. We love Dr. Al and his whole office and we have recommended him to several people over the last 13 years!

Terrible attitude and bed side manner. Scheduled an appointment - had to wait a month, and then had to reschedule because of situations out of my control - had to wait another month. I told them I couldn't do Wednesday's that is the only day they would schedule for. Wait time in office is ridiculous. They do one thing, send you to the waiting room, do another thing send you to the waiting room, etc. He is also impossible to get an occupational, physical, or speech therapy referral from.

Dr Mireles has been the Pediatric Dr for all of my Children from ages Now 40 down to my youngest 8 years Old. The Professional courtesy and excellent treatment he has rendered to each of them 10 in total has been a Godsend. He is the most caring and informative Dr i have experienced from Fla to New York. We support and appreciate his service more then words can explain. Thank you Dr Mireles from the Bottom of our Hearts. The Washington Family , Reid , Ruiz Capron and Lamb Families also.
